Experts Highlight Occupational Risks and Myths in Male Fertility and Semen Health
Male infertility accounts for about 40 to 50 percent of infertility cases, yet occupational and lifestyle factors affecting male reproductive health are often overlooked. Heat exposure from jobs like long-haul driving, factory work, and baking can impair sperm quality by raising scrotal temperature. Additionally, common myths about male fertility—such as age having no effect or semen volume indicating fertility—are debunked by experts who emphasize that fertility involves complex factors including sperm motility, morphology, and DNA integrity.
